People have their tastes, but I still think this is dumb.
I hate websites that hijack the back button.
Next: It's all fillers
Wouldn't two half-sized sticks perform better?
I thought dual-channel RAM was a thing at least as far back as the original Socket A nForce chipset.
You would get some amount of increased performance from dual 8 GB chips, yes, but getting 1x16 GB chip allows you to upgrade to 32 GB later for the cost of 1 more 16 GB chip, instead of having to get a 2x16 GB set. Can be much more economical, especially with prices these days.
Why not just sell two 8 gig sticks? You get more channels that way anyways and it's the ram that is expensive not the stick you mount it on.
This pill is guaranteed to enhance your ram and impress the ladies!
